Sandra Haight Poet Acrostic

Notes About The Poem

Spectacular Spring

S - Splendid are those images of spring's rebirthing sign.
P - Phenomenal when first we see red robins make the scene. 
E - Eye-catching is each budding limb and wakened tender vine, 
C - captivating us with subtle springtime's haze of green.
T - Thrilling so are vivid tulips, daffodil delights;
A - amazing crocus, violets, forsythia galore.
C - Classic warming, lengthening of each new day ignites
U - unrivaled joy for springtime season long awaited for.
L - Luxurious the thrill of hope in every heart and soul,
A - astounding us as dormant seeds awake and then implore 
R - resplendent spring to rise and resurrect from winter's dole.
